Acquiring the Habit of Highly Successful Students Part 3



       Acquiring the Habit of Highly Successful Students
                                                                        Part 3
Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects- life within and life without; internal life and external life- and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world. Even one who has renounced the world has to be understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship

The Harmful Effects of Smoking

The Harmful Effects of Smoking




Smoking is very harmful. It can damage many parts in your body, especially your face. It can cause your life! Every time you smoke it’s like pulling the trigger more on the gun. What I think is that if you do good one day without smoking it can cause you more life, but if you smoke then it causes to take away two days of your life. If you stay away from smoking it causes for everything to go right and not end up in a bad situation. Smoking can also harm your family’s life. It can make them sick, or even encourage them to get into smoking. You can end up in a very bad situation, it can harm your lungs to go black, your heart would be rotten, it would never be you again like it was before. Smoking harms your health and takes life away from you.

                     Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students
Part 2  
If we are to succeed in life, we must hone our learning skills.
11.   The first step in this direction is to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons that impel you to study some topic, as crude as they may be. It’s possible that your list is empty. Don’t worry, it only means that you have not identified any reason to study the chosen and very specific point (it’s for sure that you are an excellent learner in other areas of life.) If you don’t have any motivation to study, then give me the list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note that this list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step comprises at least one item (a positive or negative driving force)

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 1



Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students
Part 1 By: Herrera
We humans are innate learners, as learning is the cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse  and often harsh ) environment in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stems from learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e., the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to learn how to protect ourselves from danger.) We can learn just out of curiosity (our natural inquisitive behavior). We can learn because we want to reach some social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) We can learn simply because we love to learn new things every day. There are plenty of reasons to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.

How Successful StudentsPrepare for Tests Part 2



How Successful Students Prepare for Tests
Part 2
8. Make summary sheets, flash cards, and practice tests.
9. Always carry some kind of pocket work and make use of wasted spare minutes by reciting and thinking about what you are learning.
10. Learn something new or different in you strongest intelligence, sense or in your dominant hemisphere. Reinforce it with as many different ways as possible.
11. Find a study partner or two in each class and routinely take turns teaching each other the material.
12. Prepare for each class as if there will be a pop quiz.
The single most important way to prepare for a test is to study many days in advance. Study each day to prepare for a test that is coming in a few days or weeks. When you are prepared, you will do great on the test and you will be confident.
